Discussion

Kirsty Mason Dec 1, 2005:
Nick, I agree with your point. But I also maintain that lake-side is misleading, since it can mean on LAND by the side of the lake with no indication of it being supported "over the water". Whether or not the stage actually floats, it looks like it does.
Nick Somers (X) Nov 30, 2005:
Although clearly outnumbered, I still maintain that a floating stage would bobble. Airships and ships of the desert are metaphors. Floating isn't. The bloke in Bregenz laughed at me when I asked him if die B�hne schwimmt.

disagree Nick Somers (X) : It doesn't float, even if the Bregenzer Festspiele site says that it does! // There's only one Seebühne in Bregenz and it doesn't float, because I've just phoned Bregenz to ask!

and how do you know you're talking about the same thing?//You haven't convinced me that there is only one stage. Asker says so? Where? Oder habe ich Tomaten auf den Augen?

agree Hans G. Liepert : Oh Nick! Ein Luftschiff schwimmt auch nicht, von Wüstenschiffen ganz zu schweigen - wenn die Bregenzer dazu Floating Stage sagen, ist es ok. Lake-side stage könnte genausogut das Bühnenhaus am See sein, das ich bisher nicht benutzen musste.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Kirsty Mason : Lake-side could be interpreted as "next to" the lake, rather than actually on the water like the stage in Bregenz// - At least, when I saw the stage it was on the water, not on the land. Could be it has moved over the last 7 years.
24 mins
agree Nick Somers (X) : In the case of Bregenz the description fits. At all events I wouldn't like to be an actor on a floating stage, especially on a windy day.

agree silvia glatzhofer : agree with Nick; I had the same discussion about Wörthersee Seebühne; the Carinthians call their Seebühne lake-side stage and it is indeed ON the lake not next to it

So. if it is about a lake, it can remain "floating stage"
Peer comment(s):
neutral Hans G. Liepert : agree with floating stage, not with the sea (Lake Constance is not the Atlantic)//Sorry, but Bregenz was mentioned clearly

It was not mentioned in the given text. Koennte auch die See sein

offshore stage

that's what it is (was) ten years ago when I was there. Looked as though it was anchored on pylons, not floating
